A number of specific substances are chosen by the authors, including benezene, asbestos, environmental tobacco smoke, ionising radiation and and dioxins. Nine authors have contributed to the book.

The book achieves this in a thought-provoking style and is an ideal reference text for those involved in risk management." --OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
